Abstract
In laser tracking systems, capturing moving targets is a prerequisite to guaranteeing a tracking system’s performance. Previous studies have confirmed that the capture probability of hexagonal spiral scanning is higher than that for other scanning methods, but there is still room for improvement. This article proposes an improved hexagonal honeycomb scanning capture method based on hexagonal spiral scanning for a prior moving target model with a Gaussian distribution positioned within the scanning range of the visual threshold. Through experimental verification, it was found that, within the same scanning field of view, the capture probability can be increased by 3% compared to that in traditional hexagonal spiral scanning, making the capture probability greater than 98%. The improved hexagonal honeycomb structure scanning method proposed in this article provides a new solution for target acquisition problems in fields such as laser communication, laser docking, and airborne radar.
